Today Lenovo unveiled their C315 touchscreen all-in-one desktop. It may not be the peppiest system on the market, but $650 for a 20-inch touchscreen AIO PC sounds pretty good to me.

Full specs aren't available yet, but we do know that the C315 houses an AMD Althon CPU, 4GB of memory, and ATI Mobility Radeon graphics. It also gets Lenovo's suite of multimedia apps like PowerCinema and AutoCollage on top of pre-installed Windows 7. It'll be available in the US beginning in April.
